-10 BOS 320 FO? So we’re reducing flying? Or inclreasing staffing IROPS and “due to low reserve numbers” everyone’s fav RSA! Help out! Pick up! Out of base idiots picking up RSA. WAY TO GO DUMMIES!! Cash money. So easy.
What is going on at this company? Saving money? These irops are certainly exacerbated by the staffing. They cancel flight all the time because of the old crew swap-a-roo and then....uh oh NO CREWS. That’s making customers angry, our cultured crew members angry and costing a S-Load of cash. Whatever, help out and do your best to fly with your head in the sand.

And to think that people here actually think that the company is going to be able to fully implement this contract.
... sorry not enough pilots for vacations. Sorry not enough pilots for reserve rules. Sorry not enough pilots.
Cry wolf. “Pilot shortage”

Well let's pick that apart. When I said, clearly, that this contract would require less staffing than most of you guys thought, I got push-back.
When said that if it does require additional staffing, it wouldn't be required for quite some time because of Vaca and reserve rules being phased in over a couple of decades. Yet, most of you would NOT publicly agree with me during the voting period.
Now we have a total of 7 Airbus FOs being added to the roster of a GROWING hull count over the next 3-6 months! That from the very FIRST system bid post CBA?!? When you grow the hull count over 6 months by about 6 airframes, and only add 7 FOs (don't know if there will be any openings on the December bid), that's a REDUCTION in staffing per hull.

all kidding aside, I agree with your post Bluedriver. I think these numbers are way to low and either something is in the works that we have no idea about or the next bid will need to be much larger. I just don't see us adding all these airframes and not bringing on more bodies with RSAs almost every day. They need to go hand in hand, Right?!?

Although I find BlueDriver a very unhappy person and often shake my head at his posts, the staffing numbers do not add up.
Unless they have found with these new pairings that the overall pilots required for the operation is less than anticipated, it doesn’t make sense. Makes you wonder what kind of staffing model they have developed. More telling will be the December bid.

Every time a bid comes out the rhetoric is “wait till next bid”! The DEC bid was right before the CBA, and that required 2 separate and VERY different staffing numbers from the same source on the same day. Talk to me about decided plans and future strategy all day, but the point is they have no idea what’s going on.
